Practicing Journaling?

I have an encrypted Linux partition on a USB drive I wear around my neck - I journal on it when I have no other outlet for my negative thoughts. No one can read it but me. It does help.

I have a very small journal that can fit in my back pocket. Because it's small, it's a bitch to write neatly without a table.

For me, I don't keep a running log every day, as my book is too small for that. I instead use it for self reflection and it's findings that are worth writing down.

For example, if something pisses me off, I write it down and try and figure out why and if I'm justified or not.

All in all, I'd say try and develop a personal moral code. I've given myself several maxims (moral rule) to try and live by.

for thoughts you might want to actually come back to one day use indexable sections

Keep a notebook with you and
it's really all what you make of it.

If you are just looking to get some things off your mind and onto paper, it can help to literally just jot them down. If you are looking to write the next American novel, don't set yourself up to fail by thinking you'll get that from just carrying a notebook around.

Try and determine your own goals from writing and the simple act of satisfying those will leave you feeling better for it. If you have no goals other than to 'help yourself', writing will quickly become another nuisance that hinders your personal recovery.

Use Journey app but not daily. It was really good when I was married because I could pinpoint my ex getting piss drunk at least 3 x a week. It's a great way to reflect on your personal growth and helps keep you in line with goals.
